Cookie's Gold

Who says that dining on the prairie wasn't that great? Just check out this coosie's menu. We've got beans! We've got coffee! And we've got Cookies golden and crusty nuggets.

You will probably recognize this pose as being similar to the piece titled "Burnt Biscuits". I actually did this one first and it gave me the thought of the other. Either way there is a lot going on in each scene.

More photos in the album and comments welcome. Now where's the jelly?

Burnt Biscuits

One thing for sure....when the boys come riding in at daybreak after a hard night in the saddle and see the carbonized texture of these sinkers any atta-boys the cook managed to accumulate will quickly disappear!

-

I did this one back in '02 and believe me it was fun not only in creating this scene it but also in reflecting back on the many times the same thing happened to me when baking biscuits in a dutch oven. But there is one thing about cooking outside in the open and that is that even though you might put a little extra char on your muffins they still taste pretty good!

More photos in the album and comments welcome.....about the carving! Not about my cooking expertise!

Beans For Breakfast

As I mentioned before, if I come across a piece that I think deserves a post of it's own I'll seperate it out from the others. Here's one of those:

-

I did this piece back around 2002 and immediately sold it the fellow we bought our Chuckwagon from. We were both members of the Missouri Cowboy Poets Society and have parked our wagons next to each other on a number of occasions when we're out having fun at various Cowboy events.

Hope you enjoy him. It looks like he knows what he's doing!

Woodcarvings, B.D. (Before Digital)

As I'm kind of bummed out on just about everything at the moment I thought I would start something I've been wanting to do for quite some time and that is to scan and upload all my old pre-digital photos to my computer and at the same time flesh out my Blog albums.

-

I'm sure you've seen a lot of them already but I'm also sure there are lots that will be new to you. They'll be placed in albums titled "Scanned Photos" and if there is a piece I think deserves special attention I'll give it an album of it's own along with a description.

Today we made it through the A's so there's lots more coming!
